Sh Haitham’s response to #ParisAttacks [video]

Shaikh Dr Haitham al-Haddad highlights some salient points in response to the recent attacks in Paris. As usual, he cares little about the hypocritical expectations for condemnation from some quarters. Rather, he wishes to discharge his responsibility towards the young and vulnerable of the ummah that might succumb to the propaganda from both ISIS and western ruling elites.

Dear Sheikh. I would sincerely suggest you to analyse the available facts before making a conclusive statement where you claim the ISIS is a handy work of Iran/Asad coalition to maintain control of Syria and wider middle east.. Below are some web links of news articles and events that prove otherwise!.. Please, go through and I hope you and other readers benefit from them…

I think it is more appropriate to say the ISIS is either the work of Israel/Turkey and Saudi coalition or none!!

We need to be clear and present islam on a golden plate to the non Muslims ,we have to be frank that on the impermissiblity of killing.its haram to kill even an insect.may ALLAH give us sabr and protect us and give us good relations with everyone
